A BIG THANK YOU to all who participated in our 2018 Maleny RunFest. Please see your results below:

Raising money for Lion's Childhood Cancer Research and other local community projects

Take the Maleny Runfest Mountain View Challenge half marathon in 2018! Run or walk – you choose. All proceeds will assist the Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation and other local community projects.

This event started in 2011 and has grown each year. Be part of the increasing number of runners and walkers that enjoy the scenic views of the Glass House Mountains while raising money for a worthy cause. Take on the 5,000m run or ramp it up a notch by doing the 10,000m circuit. Better still sign up for the premier challenge – the REMAX Hinterland half marathon.

This event is for all age groups and all abilities. We strongly encourage primary school groups to participate in the Niulife 3,000m run. They will be in the running to win the Maleny Realty Trophy* for the most participants per school population attending. If you are not a runner do not despair – you can walk the 3,000m event as well.

High schools will be in the running to win a perpetual Trophy and $100 for your school, for the most participants per school population entering the 5,000m event.
